History lesson
In the middle of my city there is a lake and a beautiful park. The funny thing about this is that it's all manmade. At first them dammed a creek to provide water for the city. Then in the 1930s the lake was drained and deepened as a 'make-work' project done by 2100 men using only hand-tools and horse drawn wagons. In 2004, they did it again. This time with massive machinery. At the time this was the most exciting thing to ever hit the city. (That's when I decided to move to England... kidding, sort of). The result is the beautiful lake and huge park. On any given nice day tons of people go walking, biking, running and rollerblading around the lake. Families come to feed the geese and bikers bring their Harley's for others to admire.
So that's the background of where this picture was taken. Just out for a walk after work.
Today I am thankful for the ability to be able to use my body to walk around the park and to enjoy the sites and sounds. I'm grateful that I'm relatively healthy and my body, while not perfect, works the way it needs to.
PS Here's another tidbit... All the trees in the city were planted by hand as we live in the middle of the bald prairie!
